Description
Released in 1989, Alice in Hell is the album that introduced the world to Jeff Waters’ hyper‑precise guitar style — a blend of thrash, speed metal, and technical wizardry that set Annihilator apart from every other band in the scene.
The 2018 Music On Vinyl reissue delivers this classic on 180‑gram black vinyl, housed in a high‑quality sleeve with a printed insert. MOV’s pressing quality ensures a clean, dynamic, and punchy presentation of the album’s sharp, intricate production.
Featuring the iconic lineup of Jeff Waters and Randy Rampage, the album includes genre‑defining tracks like:
-
“Alison Hell”
-
“W.T.Y.D.”
-
“Burns Like a Buzzsaw Blade”
-
“Human Insecticide”
This is the essential modern pressing — collector‑grade, heavy, and faithful to the original Roadrunner release.
